copy game progress from XB1 external drive to XBX?

Hi Villain G,

Thanks for your query.

If you uninstall everything, your saved progress will be deleted. Xbox game save files are stored on the console, not the disc. If you want to keep your saved progress, you can try copying it to an external drive before uninstalling the game.

To copy your saved progress, follow these steps:

Connect an external drive to your Xbox console.
Go to Settings > System > Storage.
Select the external drive.
Select "Storage."
Select "Games & apps."
Select "Store to this device."
Select the game you want to copy.
Select "Copy."
Once you have copied your saved progress to the external drive, you can uninstall the game and DLC from your Xbox console. Then, you can reinstall the game and DLC from the disc.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

Best regards,
Vanessa.

Hi, XBF-Spartan.

I'm having a similar issue with reinstalling a game I own, Cuphead, on my original XB1's internal storage. My error code reads as: 0xd05e0115. I try to launch Cuphead and get the error code 0x80070570. This has never happened to me before and I purchased the game back in 2020. Besides updates to the game, I haven't had any issues with launching the game.

Since I copied over the title to an external drive awhile ago, figured that copying over the game would resolve the issue. But I get the "0xd05e0115" code instead and the XB1 refuses to copy over the game. Launching Cuphead from my external drive works fine. But this doesn't explain why I can't simply copy over Cuphead if the version that was installed on my console's internal drive was "corrupted." This might stem from a recent console update that I downloaded recently.

"can i copy xbox one games from one external hard drive to another" Currently, you can only have two copies of a game (well, three if you count the one that's always in the cloud). One copy on your Xbox and one copy on a single USB 3.0 external drive. However,
you should be able to have two external drives plugged into the Xbox and use the Move command to transfer the game/games from one to the other.

Hi,

I really hate to reply to questions marked as 'answer' but in this instance I feel that I must.

Digital games will work on any account that also owns the game and can connect to Xbox Live. Digital download will also work if the second user has the disc instead of the digital licence. It also works the other way round.

What parity described is how it works on 360. Xbox One does things differently.

He does not need to connect his console to your internet, he can just have a copy of the game. As long they are connected to Live it will work.

No, because the license follows the game and would still belong to you. He could connect his console to your internet and download the games that way.
